nutrition – Jael Covey

There is something special about opening a new book and beginning to read what is in it. I love learning and so it gives me a great pleasure to dive into the pages of new books. I have started a new course in my program and I am loving it.

I am taking a program that is training me to become a certified holistic nutritionist. Like many students, I don’t know what I am going to do with it. But I know that I am extremely interested about the topics in this course. They are already helping me grow and learn about my health and the environment around me.

I completed the first course a couple of weeks ago. I was actually surprised how much is taken into account when talking about health. When I began this course, I thought that physical exercise and eating was the only things affecting my health.

Oh boy, was I ever wrong!

The first course started my brain in a whole new train of thinking. And now I know that there is so much more to learn! With each new lesson I am learning more about what affects our health.

My fitness journey started about five years ago. It has been an up and down process and also slow going at times. But it is now accelerating at a fast rate. It is growing with leaps and bounds and I am so excited to be on this path!

The current book I am reading is about 1,000 pages and filled with a whole bunch of fun information! I have spent several years trying to figure out what I love and I think I have finally found it.

I always felt like I was slow and behind everyone else, but it wasn’t true. I just didn’t find the path that I was supposed to be on. Now that I have I can actually see that there is no one to compare myself to.

There’s only myself to look at and I am on the right track. My life started to change when I stopped looking at everyone around me and started looking at me. I have a different path than other people and that is good!

When I was in my twenties, I tried many different things and found what I love and don’t love. In my mid to late 20s, I found fitness and nutrition and from there everything started to change. It is like something lit up inside of me and I can drink, eat, and learn fitness and nutrition. I was made for this!

If I can give you one peace of advice I would tell you this. Find you, find what you love and keep trying new things. One day, you will find that thing that lights your soul up.

It may take years or just a couple of days. But that’s okay! Everybody’s pace is different.

Sometimes when I start to feel stressed or anxious about where I am in life. I remind myself that I am right where I am supposed to be. My path looks different and just because I may feel like I am behind, I am not. All I can do is take is one step at a time.

Have you ever felt behind in life? What do you find helps when you start feeling that way?

I am excited to be on this beautiful journey of life!

Join me on my journey of becoming who I was created to be!

Cheers!

I’m on an exciting and transforming journey to create the life I’ve always dreamed of. In the past, I held onto who I thought I was. But now, I am focused on becoming the person I am meant to be.

For the last ten years, I searched for my path. I spent a lot of time working in kitchens, because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do. Then, in 2023, everything changed. I took a hard look at my life and realized it was time for something big to shift. So, I made a bold decision—I handed in my two-week notice.

Looking back, it might have seemed like a rash decision, but deep down, I knew it was the right one. I was content, but I wasn’t fulfilled. I had so much more I wanted to do, so much more to give. I wish I could tell you the transition was smooth, but it wasn’t. The day I quit my job, I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t know what was next—I just knew I had to make a change.

During that period of uncertainty, I worked at a driving range, at an accounting firm and delivery driving. i also took some accounting courses, but stop those when I lost my accounting job. I was devastated the day my boss told me he was downsizing, but it became a turning point for me. It forced me to ask myself: What am I passionate about? What makes me excited to wake up in the morning?

The answer came quickly: Fitness, writing, food, health, music…. the list goes on, but nothing said accounting so I was okay with letting that one go. I decided to dive into things that I love. I considered personal training, looked into fitness courses, but they didn’t quite align with what I was looking for.

Then, a conversation with some friends changed everything. They suggested I look into a nutrition course. I checked out the program, and it clicked. I signed up, and that was the start of my nutrition journey.

The road hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been exactly what I needed. I’ve learned that stepping out of my comfort zone and taking risks is necessary to get my life on track. I didn’t take the most conventional path, but it’s been working for me.

That said, I want to be clear: Don’t follow my path! Make your own. You’ll make mistakes—just like I did—but that’s part of the journey. Keep going, pick yourself up when you fall, and stay focused on your dreams. You’ve got this!

It won’t always be easy, but trust me—it will be worth it.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Cheers!
